Protecting and promoting health within Planetary Boundaries. Challenges and opportunities for global governance

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are not just environmental crises ‐ they are major threats to global health.

In this article, we explore how Planetary Boundaries and global health governance intersect, highlighting key challenges in international policy and the need for more integrated approaches at the global level.
